A number of public spirited citizens of Sumpter met in Ellis opera house Mon day evening for the purpose of organizing a Board of Trade. J. B. Stoddard was called to the chair and Seymour Bell was elected secretary. Several gentlemen present made sensi ble speeches pointing out the need of such an organization here, and the great benefit the town would derive therefrom, by uniting the efforts of business men. Ed Cannon demonstrated that he meant what little he said by giving ten dollars to help the movement along in its Infancy. Some discussion of the best method to be pursued in starting off right, resulted in the appointment of Messrs. Chance, Warner, Gleason, McDevitt, and Bell as a committee to Interview business men on the subject and get their signatures to a membership list. Another meeting will be held tomorrow evening to take further steps towards per fecting organization. It is hoped that this meeting will be largely attended.

It is very important that this movement be carried to a successful issue, for there is no doubt but what much good can be accomplished in this way. W. E. KAHLER RETIRES. W. R.
